When the court was i'm the act of
swearing the grand jury, Attorney
Camerol, appe lred as fri IN l of the
court and asked the privilege of making
certain suggestions to the court. He
suggested that the grand jury had not
been drawn or summoned by order of
the court, but by the judge thereof, at
chambers, and that, thertf r., the pro
ceeding was without authority of law
and in violation of the statutes.
Attorney Z. Sample announced that
he wo1l l object to the grand jury being
sworn, for the reason given by Mr..
Cameron. lie said he appe ,red as the
attorney for PlotIins, KnJwies, Hub

charged with crime, AMI whose case
would likely be considered by the grand
jury. AS their attorney he objected.

that the grand jury was irregular; but

such Offense is guilty, Il is his duty 10
place such party under bond to await
his trial at the next term of the district
court.
But there are other provisio~s Of the
law which authorize the ca ling of a
grand jury, when IL is deemed neces-
sary TO fully protect the interests OF Ia
public, and when IL is made to appear
that the ordinary methods OF enforcing

a young man, tailor, died in this city this
morning, the circumstances attending the
his death being somewhat peculiar. He
had been visiting for a long time a young

happily discussed their future. About
10 O'Clock he rose to 60, and was kissing
his sweetheart good night, when he ex-
perienced a choking sensation in his
throat, swooncd and fell to the floor. He
was carried to a bedroom in the house and
medical aid was summoned, but after re.
gaining consciousness his throat continued
to swell. He was unable to catch his
breath, and was finally smothered to
death.
